Rowan Felted TweedI know this has been around for ages and in fact I've used some before in bits on 4mm like a normal dk and thought it was nice but nothing special  But am using it for the first time on 3.75mm and tis MUCH better - lovely and soft and springy. The colours are just gorgeous too. I'm using Watery which is a turquoise flecked with tiny bits of ginger. It IS expensive - £4.95 a ball - but each ball is 175m long so you can get a garment out of about 6 balls. Great if you want something tweedy but which is also light and soft and which you can wear next to your skin!!
I saw on Rav someone saying it is EXACTLY the same as something called Grignasco Tango which is half the price - bet you can't get that here tho
